Thanks for the intro. Well-organized and infomative!
Thanks for this helpful and comprehensive overview!
New to substack, this was a great intro! Thanks for sharing!
Medium promotes itself.
SubStack promotes its authors.
the rss feeds is just icing on the cake. damn this is good.
Very good review. Thank you.
Great video.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Great video....thanks!
Great video, for someone thinking about starting a newsletter! Any other tips you can provide?
Great intro video. Sounds a lot better than using Medium. What are your thoughts the new “Sections” update where you can categorize your substack even further?
Great video buddy! Now - I'm only mentioning this because this 𝘪𝘴 a writing-related piece - it's death throes, not throws.
Awesome Platform 👍👌
Have you been able to get embedded videos to play on the reader screen vs opening a new tab and going to another site where the video is hosted?
I really liked your video but the problem with substack is that all my newsletters are going into promotion tab in gmail.. Therefore, i get less than 10% open rate.. Any solution for this?
Smart to see what the most popular links are. Was that the first link listed in the email?
⭐♥ Brilliant.
How is the deliverability rate? Does the email land in promotions ?
Hi there... my client has deep expertise in multiple areas ...
Should he setup separate Substack accounts for each area, or should he consolidate all of his writings in a single account? .. thx much ...
Considering to switch to Substack too. Just curious if you let your existing subscribers know that you are moving them to substack?
So informative, thank you! I'm a bit worried about how to promote this on my Wordpress website. I take it Substack doesn't have conventional sign up boxes?
Is there a tagging system or way to best organize posts/threads?
Not that I know of
Thanks for sharing. Do subscribers have an option to receive or opt out of receiving an email?
Hey there! All Substack accounts support RSS, so if a customer comes to your page, they can just save the YOURNAME.subsctack.com URL to an RSS reader and follow along there without any emails. Hope that helps!
@@ABetterComputer It does, thanks.
Biggest revelation...A Better Computer isn’t VC funded. 😅
Only thing I don't understand is why custome domain cost $50 on substack? Lots of other platform are free. Isn't it?
They do not even have an Android app yet (only IOS), article and author recommendations are basically not existing, no matter how much information the system already has about what you like or have subscribed to. Unlike with similar platforms you cannot get access by subscribing once, instead lots of channels with quite expensive subscription rates and almost no content. Apparently you cannot subscribe without accepting newsletters and get spammed by email.
I cannot imagine that people will stick with that platform under such conditions.
Here's a counter to each one of your points: They now have Android, they have a strong recommendation system, there are tons of free newsletters and most paid subscriptions also come with a free option, you can easily browse Substack and read articles without subscribing to a single newsletter/getting anything sent to your inbox. They have millions of paid subscribers and they are apart of massive change in online media distribution. They have added podcast options and are beta testing video as new media opportunities for creators. They seem to be doing pretty well!
@@BarryFranks well i removed myself from this as almost all content is optimized for monetization and not really that informative. Lots of better and free alternative there already.
@@JohannPetrak It's just not true that it's all monetized. Anyone who has spent any amount of time on the platform can find free newsletters on literally any topic.
I see that you’ve moved your site to Ghost. Who’s hosting it? Which theme are you using?
I'm hosted on DigitalOcean and I use my own custom theme 😁
Are you still using this platform? Are you still doing free subscriptions if you are now doing both free and paid how long before you started?
Is this a sponsored post?
Nope, I will always say if it is 😊
GOD BE WITH YOU PRAYER FOR SALVATION Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name. Amen
You are forgiven my son. Now follow me on Substack and subscribe to my newsletter.
